im usin 6 cyl k member an 9 inch spindles
probably right there sheetmetal removal on a unibody bad its all structualFrame supports mandatory. I also supported firewall to fender wells as well. Used 1" square tubing across fender wells to core support.
Then to firewall. Only cause I cracked windshield after some launches.
Mainly because of 2 1/8 fender well headers. I presume.
D.A.
i got a good deal on some shumachers but the chrome really sucks along the flangesSchumacher headers fit great and I have had my car down to 11.30s with them. Frameties are needed.
is this because of a heat issue or a clearance issue mine clear fine although i cant rember what removal may have looked likeTTI headers
Be cool radiator
Schumacher mounts
Do yourself a favor and use an offset master cylinder plate.
thank u bet them are hard to find got a good deal on some shumacker for nowThe 68-69 HP manifolds are the best flowing. They will handle up to around 450 HP and they will fit your car, since you have the later body style (67 and later). They fit the low deck better of course, but will also fit the 440. The passenger's side drops in and the driver's side requires cutting the column tube back to the firewall. Might be some other small things as they are all a little different.

thanks do ya knw the tti #u used what issues were there if any? did u remove the torsion bars to acomplish this task ?looks like ya got a nice fat tire under it what wheel backspace did ya use an tire size ?did you do a drum to disc conversion also?
thnk you so much for the info this has been a big strugle for meI used TTI headers and a Summit universal 27.5x19 rad for my 73 Dart swinger
I will have to look up the part number for the TTI headers, it’s been a few years since I owned my dart.
On the headers fitting I did not have to beat any tubes etc to get them to fit. My car had a flaming river aftermarket steering box.i did have to grind down a rib on the box. One of the tubes was touching it. But didn’t have to grind much. Also had to remove the pitman arm grease zerk. That was all I had to do to get the headers to fit.
I laid the headers in the engine bay and had my brother and his wife hold the headers out of the way, while I dropped the engine/transmission in as one unit. I also installed the engine trans with the starter bolted on. Took me less than a half hour to have the engine headers etc bolted in.
My car came factory with Disc brakes.
Also for got to add the only thing I removed on the front suspension was the steering column, everything Elese stayed bolted in.
Back to the headers if you decide to get the 2 inch tube TTI headers, I found out if you drill a 1.5 to 2 inch hole in the inner fender. It makes it a hole lot easier to get to number 6 spark plug.
The rear tires was the M/T 275/60/15 ET Street radial. The rear wheels were weld drag lights in a 15x8 with 4.5 inches of BS. On my 73 dart the rear springs were moved in 3 inches but the wheel wells were untouched. I hope I was able to answer all your questions, but if I missed one or you have more please feel free to ask.
did you haave to use a cbody oil pan ffor tie rod clearance?
is this because of a heat issue or a clearance issue mine clear fine although i cant rember what removal may have looked like
thanks do ya knw the tti #u used what issues were there if any? did u remove the torsion bars to acomplish this task ?looks like ya got a nice fat tire under it what wheel backspace did ya use an tire size ?did you do a drum to disc conversion also?
In my 72 Swinger with a 440, I didn't use the offset master cylinder mount. I just used the factory a body power brake booster mount and mounted a master cylinder . It was up and away from the header and no issue pulling the valve cover!
Hi. I don't remember the part number off hand, just bought them for a 440 in a body with stock heads. Theses will not fit a 440 with Raised exhaust ports like Indy-1 heads. The only 3 small problems I had was.thanks do ya knw the tti #u used what issues were there if any? did u remove the torsion bars to acomplish this task ?looks like ya got a nice fat tire under it what wheel backspace did ya use an tire size ?did you do a drum to disc conversion also?
